Oh shit, are we at the part of the authoritarian power grab where everyone in charge starts having each other assassinated?

Goddamn moving is stressful

Day three of boys night weekend started off with more World of Radiation! now we’re moving on to Orpheus, and finally some Racoon Sky Pirates.

Played the curse of rookwood manor earlier and now we’re getting ready for world of radiation. A game my buddy made.

It’s our annual Boy’s Night Weekend (women are also welcome, my spouse is joining us this time the name is just funny)where we play rpgs and drink beer for three days. So far we’ve played Pirate Borg, and Eat the Reich. Good shit, favorite weekend of the year every time

I have 16 work days left before my wife and kid and I move across the state for her new job. Gonna be jobless for the first time in a decade. Really looking forward to decompressing and giving my kid all the attention I haven’t been able to for the last four years while working.

Re-read a Wizard of Earthsea this weekend and it’s just such a powerful reminder of why I love LeGuin’s writing. I’m always blown away by how beautiful her prose is, even when straightforward and directed at a younger audience.

My dad got a new puppy, he is getting along well with their Irish Wolfhound.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Man, for a hot second there I thought Goodman games had gotten the rights to the judges guild stuff. Unfortunately seems like that’s not the case and a dude who sucks is about to get a bunch of nostalgia money.

Andor has got me in the mood to play the x wing miniature game again, which means I just learned that it’s out of print so I guess I’m glad I hung onto all my shit

I know I should be packing my house to move… but Andor? As a treat?

As a father of a young boy with maga relatives I got the question “what if he decided one day he wants his name to be Susie?” Like it was some big gotcha I wouldn’t have an answer for. “I’d still love my kid because any other response would mean I was a shitty parent” wasn’t the answer they wanted

On this International Worker's Day, remember that our struggle is the same as our great+ grandfathers'. "The Capitalistic Vampire," by Walter Crane, 1885

Me: getting my house ready for sale, no distractions, gotta stay on it and get shit done Also me: hey remember how much you loved Morrowind and Skyrim but never got around to oblivion? Think I need to save that one as a reward for myself after I move

My partner just got a new job! I am getting ready to leave my job! We get to spend the next 10 weeks getting our house ready to sell and finding a new place in a new city! I am gonna be a stay at home dad! THINGS ARE VERY EXCITING! I MIGHT STRESS BLACK OUT TONIGHT BUT TOMORROW IM GONNA BE BUSY

Hey mothership writers, please keep making modules that are cleverly written and big in themes and overarching ideas. Even little stuff like the pamphlet adventure year of the rat is so thematically on point that it’s just a joy to read

I get to run #Mothership again, got myself a printed copy of the absolutely gorgeous module the Year of the Rat, time for a space casino job!

Millennials were born 1981-1996 Willow: 1988 Labrynth: 1986 Never ending story: 1984 Legend: 1986 Between two fires: 2012 The butcher of the Forrest: 2024 The shadow glass: 2022 How dare we be into kids movies that came out during our actual childhoods and books that came out when we were adults!

Wife has a job interview for an awesome job that would mean about 30k a year more for our family, and I’d be able to swap to stay at home dad life, the goal for years. But now the reality that we may have to sell our house and try to buy another one in this economy is setting in and… S T R E S S !

I need to start running a campaign again. It’s been 6 months since I ran an rpg. Being a player in two weekly campaigns is awesome but I’m really starting to feel a creative void

Dropped by Dark Future in Portland today. What a kickass game store. Tons of awesome indie games, osr stuff and an impressive selection of old TSR and judges guild stuff all crammed into a shop about the size of a walk in closet 10/10 I could have spent way more time and money there #ttrpg #OSR

“You’re just not giving him a chance, we need a smart business man to fix the economy” -my mother in-law who is no longer allowed inside my house.

I used to have a giant inflatable pterodactyl hanging from my ceiling when I was little. Now my kid has one thanks to his grandparents. He is, understandably, pretty fucking stoked.
